I’ll do the following; 1) Talk to the customer, get their complaints and deep dive with all the concern stakeholders within my organization to identify where the gap was. 2) If the complaint is Justified, I’ll try to compensate the customer as much as possible even if it means inviting the customer over, talking over the phone to apologize and let them know it wasn’t intentional and we accept our mistake. I’ll work by the company’s policy to ensure that the customer is compensated accordingly. 3) If the complaint from the customer is not justified, i’ll set up a meeting and explain to the customer in the simplest way possible.

We should ask ourselves the following question: what led the customer to trust us before this happened? After identifying the reason, we must join forces to reframe this scenario and convey the same perception of value. The best way to identify this factor is to have a humanized dialogue with the customer and try to get their current view of the company and open up to them to make proposals for improvement. The more we make the customer part of our improvement, the closer they will feel to us, and intimacy leads to trust.
